Pics from removing the fender apron that was in terrible condition......
Here are a couple original markings from the factory.....looks like 5A 1 2G Those were written in grease pencil on the paint when it was coming off the line....
Another that looks like it could be 2 "OK"s written on it.....
Rear portion of the front passenger fender apron(Battery tray area.
Close up of the lower seam where the apron meets the frame rail...
